Med, Blu and Madlib pop up with a new 9-track joint effort called The Turn Up. The tape features 5 new tracks plus instrumentals and acapellas for the two lead songs. Also, Oh No swings through for the sole guest appearance.

Damn, this new Madlib is a head-nodder. The instrumental, “10 Summers Old,” is one of two new productions from the new “Barrel Proof” 7-inch being released by Technical Equipment Supply and Rapcats. Check it out below and pick up a copy here or in person at the location in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Today Madlib and DOOM announced a new special edition Madvillain figure that went on sale this week and they also saw fit to bless us with a new track called “Avalance”. Check it out below, it’s pretty great.

There’s no better way to celebrate the life of an artist gone before their time than by bumping their work at high volume, preferably in a residential area. Following the untimely passing of the legend Phife Dawg earlier this week, Tim Westwood shares a vintage freestyle with Phife, Wildchild and Madlib from 1999.

Last night at Mass Appeal’s Live at the BBQ showcase at SXSW, Nas previewed a new track called “The Sickness” that finds him trading verses with the late J Dilla. The song, produced by Madlib, will appear on the upcoming Dilla Rap album The Diary, which arrives next month. The track was not previously included on the tracklist, so I presume it’s one of the two bonus tracks that you see on the iTunes listing.

Last night on Twitter, Kim Kardashian hinted that Kanye would be rebooting his legendary 2010 G.O.O.D Fridays weekly song series, and Ye has made good on that promise. Check out the new track “Real Friends” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, plus a snippet of “No More Parties in LA,” which features an intro from Kendrick Lamar, a beat by Madlib and additional production from Kanye.

Blu, Med and Madlib are reprising the partnership that brought us The Burgundy EP back in 2013 for a new project called Bad Neighbor. And they’ve brought some heavyweight rhyme slingers along for the ride this time, as you’ll see on the project’s first leak, “Knock Knock” featuring the incomparable MF DOOM.

Preview DOOM’s verse via the animated short above and continue below for a Soundcloud stream of the full track. Pre-order Bad Neighborhere ahead of its digital release on October 30th.

More than a decade after the release of their mid-aughts collaborative classic, Madvillainy, two previously unreleased tracks from MF DOOM and Madlib make their way into the ether.

The pair have been quietly teasingMadvillainy 2 for years and like the DOOMSTARKS album, it’s sort of become one of those projects where fans feel like, “if it happens it happens, but I’m not holding my breath”.

Well today we get to hear an untitled track featuring M.E.D. and a song called “Travis 911” about a chimp that mauled a woman in Connecticut in 2009. DOOM previously spoke about the track, which is written from the chimp’s perspective in a New Yorker profile by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
